If you are neurodivergent, you live in a society and culture that is not designed for you. This mismatch brings a whole host of challenges, and if you are late identified, you have no doubt felt out of place, dysfunctional, or insufficient all your life. I work with adults who identify as autistic, ADHD, or highly sensitive. I have significant training and experience supporting those with a PDA profile.

I also provide therapy to parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children who live in Washington state and are seeking a neurodiversity affirming (and non-behaviorist) approach. Exhaustion, overwhelm, and anxiety are often hallmarks of this particular parenting journey, and you may feel isolated, invalidated or blamed when your community does not understand or support your child’s needs. Therapy is different than parent coaching: I provide support for parents’ overall wellbeing.

My approach is neurodiversity affirming, meaning I see neurodivergence as part of the natural diversity of human neurological expression. A person’s neurotype is integral to their identity, and each neurotype comes with particular strengths, challenges, joys, and frustrations. While I support clients with the challenges they encounter in their day-to-day lives, I will never see a neurotype as a problem to be fixed, altered or erased. I bring my own experiences as a neurodivergent human to this work.

Counseling can help.

I support clients with various challenges related to navigating life as a neurodivergent person.

• executive functioning challenges

• rejection sensitivity

• sensitive nervous systems

• anxiety and depression

• autistic/neurodivergent burnout

• ableism, shame, and trauma

I support parents of neurodivergent children with:

• caregiver burnout, exhaustion, and stress

• caring for your own nervous system

• stress of extended family relationships

• coping with parenting and school related challenges
